I GOT IT HONESTRecorded by Aaron TippinWords and music by A. Tippin, B. Burke and M. Johnson

[D] It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an [G] acre [D] lotIt ain't that much diff'rent from any other [A7] house on the [D] blockAnd it may not look like we got our [G] share of the pro-[D] miseBut at least one thing's for [A7] sure, I GOT IT [D] HONEST.

Roll out of the sack ev'ry mornin', head on down to the millGive 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the dealIf you'll check out my paycheckWell, you'll see that there ain't that much on itBut ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I GOT IT HONEST.

I [G] never had to hang my head in shameFor [D] puttin' a price tag on my name[G] Never turned back on what I believeOr [E] let my heart be ruled by [A7] greed'Cause [D] buddy if I didn't [G] earn it, I don't [D] want itThat way I can always [A7] say, I GOT IT [D] HONEST.

Now you ain't looking at some dudeThat was born with a Silver spoon in his mouthAnd I might seem like some kind of low-lifeTo that high-falutin' crowdBut I'm plain spoken, straight talkin'And damn proud of what I have accomplishedSome folks appreciate that and some don'tBut, I GOT IT HONEST.

CHANGE TO E:

Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortuneBut I hope they knowed my life stood for things that were importantAnd I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my mommaIt made me every ounce of what I am and I GOT IT HONEST.
